It has definitely been one of the nicest summers anyone can remember in Norway this year. Several temperature records has been broken, and farmers who never had imagined that they would ever face a crisis because they did not get enough rain, learned something new. So, not a lot of updates the latest weeks.

We have added a few partial steamship passenger lists for 1866 arrivals to Quebec and the 1844 list for the Washington to New York.

Part from that we have been working with some updating of the ships and arrival databases and a lot of tech work in the background which you never notice.
